Switzerland is an unincorporated community in Jasper County, South Carolina, United States. The community is part of the Hilton Head Island-Bluffton-Beaufort, SC Metropolitan Statistical Area. The community's name comes from Swiss natives who originally came to South Carolina and had settled in the nearby Purrysburg settlement on the banks of the Savannah River, near present-day Hardeeville. Due to competition from Savannah and health issues, many of the settlers moved further inland and created the hamlet. In the past century, the population of the hamlet has dwindled in comparison to growth in Ridgeland and Hardeeville.

“Switzerland is only bearable covered with snow... like some people are only bearable under a sheet.”
“Switzerland is a small, steep country, much more up and down than sideways, and is all stuck over with large brown hotels built on the cuckoo clock style of architecture.”
“The MIVILUDES’ mandate is to crack down on “cultic deviances,” while [the Intercantonal Information Center on Beliefs (CIC)] is more about spreading balanced information and [letting] Swiss citizens form their own opinions by themselves.”
